Not sure if the shreiff's are using one of the building, their use of the buildings seems to evolve constantly.<br /><br />The three buildings, are slowly deteriorating through planned neglect. ( There is really four sides, but <a href="http://hillside-building.blogspot.com/">Hillside</a> was especially built for patients in <span style="font-weight: bold;">1965-6</span> ).<br />A little maintenance was done on some of the rotten wooden outside stairs on <span style="color: #660000;">Brookside</span> a few months ago. I have to make an effort to get some decent pictures of these buildings, it is difficult since they are still in use, and the residents, staff and weather always seem to get in the way. All three were built in <span style="font-weight: bold;">1948</span>, for use as Nurses quarters; at that time there were;<br />18 Registered Nurses,(R.N.), 44 Psychiatric graduates, and 192 Nurses in-training.<br />Very high turnover with 229 resignations, and 240 replacements.<br />The Hospital was overcrowded, and new therapies were starting to be used.<br />First unit was occupied on August 1, 1948<br /><br /><span style="color: #660000; font-weight: bold;">Roadside</span>: 1,949.62 Sq M. floor space.
